• The definition data of one NV bit image consists of [xL xH yL yH d1… dk]. Therefore, when only

one NV bit image is defined, n = 1; the data group [xL xH yL yH d1… dk] is manipulated once, and
([Data: (xL + xH x256) x( yL + yH x256 ) x8 ] + [Header: 4]) bytes of non-volatile memory is
used to store it

• The maximum definition area of printer depends on model. Multiple NV bit images can be defined,

but bit images of which total size (Bit image data + Header) exceeds capacity of definition area
can not be defined.

• The printer state will change to BUSY just before the writing operation into the non-volatile

memory begins. Also, the printer state will change to BUSY just before the writing operation
begins regardless of the state of the memory switch even at a printer that have a memory switch
1-3[Busy condition]

• While this command is being executed, it is not possible to send ASB status or to detect the printer

status even when the ASB function is selected.

• If this command is sent while a macro is still being defined, the definition process will be stopped

and the execution of this command will start.

• NV bit images that are defined already are not initialized by using ESC @ command, or by

resetting the printer or turning the power off.

• The command only executes definition of NV bit image, but not start printing. The printing of NV

bit image will be executed by FS p.

• Because frequent writing in the non-volatile memory can destroy the memory, the writing

command should be used less than 10 times a day.

• It may happen that the printer becomes BUSY during the process of writing data into the

non-volatile memory in the execution of this command. When the printer becomes BUSY, it will
stop receiving data. Therefore, sending data from the host (including real time command) is
prohibited.
